Garcia is the favorite, but he?s making his first appearance since missing the cut badly at the Masters, where a stunning 13 on hole No. 15 at completely ended any chance of the Spaniard defending the green jacket he won in Georgia in 2017. Garcia has three top 10 finishes this year in five events, so he could challenge even though he?s never won this event.
Luke List (22-1), Ryan Moore (25-1), Kevin Chappell (28-1), Adam Scott (30-1), Billy Horschel (33-1), Brandt Snedeker (35-1) and Chesson Hadley (40-1) round out the rest of the top 10 favorites following Garcia, Kuchar and Hoffman.
Kevin Chappell?s win a year ago was no fluke and that he can very easily be seeing the sweet-swinging Californian going back-to-back by claiming this year?s title.
